Clean enough to lick +colored

I actually have no idea how to categorize this...

It's kind of turned into a piece that's more appropriate for Hallowe'en. Is there a Fetish category for Painting & Airbrushing? Seems like DA could use a Library and Information Science-trained librarian...

Anyway...

This took forever, and I'm still not quite happy with the skin color, but I suck at painting and for some silly reason I decided to paint it. I should probably get a few real paintings from real references under my belt before I do this again...

I moved some stuff around relative to the original drawing. In some ways painting is easier to work out form issues than adjusting pencil drawings b/c you can just fill out the form and see if it fits.

It's also interesting to me that this reads different when flipped horizontally. I wonder if someone who's used to right-to-left languages interprets this piece different than those of us used to left-to right languages.
